about

This another song which was improved from the original version. The original version featured a lot of blast beats which sounded impressive at that time, but became awkwardly rushed when we listen to the song many times. This version spreads out the riffs and vocal melodies to a more enjoyable pace. We would want to refer VADER's style of choppy precise riffings for the early of this song.

We hope listeners enjoy the middle part of the song when it slows down to a somewhat Arabic-oriented riff influenced by NILE's breakdowns. For this part, we paid tribute to Canada's short-lived but deservingly glorified PROCREATION, check them out!

The ending part of the song is a bold attempt to force relaxed rock-oriented riffs and drum style into the song before finishing with the double-kick driven drum pattern.

Yajuj Majuj is described as two tribes of people or nation whose nature is very aggressive, confrontational and offensive. Interestingly, they were said to be blocked, and even buried, by walls and barriers built by Dhul-Qarnayn. Check out QARNAYN band Singapore! Dhul-Qarnayn is also mentioned in one of NILE's song (good time to take out those NILE albums for a spin!). Some scholars believed that Dhul-Qarnayn, based on his characteristics and environment mentioned in ancient scriptures, is Alexandra The Great (good time to take out those IRON MAIDEN albums for a spin!). More importantly, Yajuj Majuj is supposed to break free from the walls and barriers to wreak havoc across the face of the earth and cause chaos and destruction.

lyrics

YAJUJ MAJUJ VERSUS THE WORLD

Hidden away from humanity
The Yajuj and Majuj breeds brutality

United as one to bring destruction
The catalysts of impending devastation
Spreading deceit and corruption
Rampaging towards world domination

Feasting on vice and debauchery
Forcing corruption upon mankind

United as one to bring destruction
The catalysts of impending devastation
Spreading deceit and corruption
Rampaging towards world domination

Yajuj Majuj
Versus the world
Yajuj Majuj
Destroys the world

Dhul-Qarnayn
Power bestowed
Yajuj Majuj
Trapped and entombed
For centuries
Within steel walls
Power and might
Shall not break through

Day and night they clawed through
Bleeding nails digging through
Clobbering with all their might
Never will they see the light

Destiny aided them through
Their visions now coming true
Fated to see the light
Fated to rape the right
Fated to prove their might
Fated to kill on sight

Behold the Yajuj Majuj
The world doomed to live through the destruction

Behold the Yajuj Majuj
The age of doom suffer til destruction

The walls crumbled
The massacre begins
The world trembled
The tyranny begins
